your county came into existence in 1887.
/ doubt whether there will be many among
those who will be present at your celebra-
ton whose recollection will carry them
back as far as mine of the southern borders
of Carroll county; and when became al
most as familiar with the neighborhood of
PARIS Ridge, Woodbine, Sykesville and
Hoods Mills, as I was with the streets of
Baltimore. With Mr.. George Patterson
as my guide and adviser, l not only went
over every foot Of ground, but may be said
to have made the personal acquaintance of
hundreds, whom so rare thing as condem-
nation in those days was certain to bring
together Very few, if any, indeed, are
now living, would recognize in the old law
yer of to-day the young one who insisted
that the rocks of the river hills were not
gold itself, and that river bottom, here
and there, was not in itself Garden of
Eden. We were all enthusiasts in those
days, my dear sir, and am only sorry that
am prevented, on this occasion, from see
ing for myself how thoroughly the prophe-
cies Of my opponents of 1881 have been
practically and substantially realized in the
present prosperity of Carroll county. With
great respect, your ob't. servant,

From the Baltimore Sun Of 4psN ~.
The semi.ceptennlal celebration of the
city of Westminster, besides being the &C.
casion Of bringing together in social inter-
course many hundreds of the elders of Car
roll county, afforded the opportunity of
making fine industrial display and teach
ing the rising generation a valuable lesson.
Carroll county is one of the most thrifty
and epterprising counties Of the state,
and Its people are entitled to enter
tain the local. pride which they man ifest.
The farmers are energetic and prosperous,
and the townspeople are industrious and
enterprising The display of manufactures
which they made was creditible in a high
degree. Probably $4,000 people partici-
pated in the celebration, aud everything
passed off pleasantly and with good order.
From all parts Of the county large cayal-
cades of horsemen moved on the town and
participated in the parade. COL VIM. p.

mentioned with which ] happen to be bet
ter acquainted than any other Abraham
Shriver, born and raised on this soil, was
at that time one of the Judges of Frederick
county court He was very old, and very
infirm, and sonearly blind that he could not
see to read, but his mind was as clear and
strong as it had ever been. The question
was submitted to him, whether or not, the
action of the nineteen electors, then in con-
temptation, was legally UNSUITABLE, in the
purview of the existing constitution. It
was read to, and carefully considered by
him, and his opinion was given that it was.
| may say that the nineteen movement
would not have occurred but for this opin-
ion of Judge Shriver He was nearing
the grave, but the principles Of popular
government which he had learned in his
youth, and practised in his manhood, did
not decay or weaken with the decay and
weakness of the physical man. And so it
is with all of us. What we have well
learned in our youth it is hard for us to
unlearn in our age.
One incident in the history of this county,
since, would like to mention. This county
voted, by decided majority, against the
provision for biennial sessions of the Legis-
lature-not by accident, but on full discus
sion, and deliberation-o the ground that
in popular government the representative
should be required to account to his con-
stituents with the greatest frequency-that
the constituent body and its delegates should
be face to face, each in the mind and view of
the other, as much as possible. Time will
show, l think, that in that vote no mistake
was made
Our county's semi-cehtennial is the CEN
tennial year of the Constitution of the
United States. When that was half cen
fury old, this county came into being.
With each recurring semi-centennial, and
centennial, until both shall end, may it be,
that you, and your children by your teach
ing, and their children by their teaching,
cherish a warm, and growing warmer love
and reverence for that sacred eonservator
of Human Liberty. Guard it, pray you,
We coming generations, from irreverent
touch,

There are occasions in the providence OF God
when we can only bow our heads and stand in dumb
silence, confessing that we know neither the reason
nor the end, the why or the wherefore OF what has
come to pass. On such occasions we are taught how
little we know of the counses and purposes OF the
great God who rifles the universe, and how neces-
sary It Is that in unquestioning silence and humble
trust we should submit to His inscrutahle DEGREES
ess1 acts.
It is such an occasion that has brought together
vine pfoyidenee that we cannot pretend 10 sxplain
OF understand This indeed Is true In a measure Of
al Gods dealings with us-ofall the dispensations
Of His providence But still there are times and cir
cumstanees when we are reminded of this truth
more orcibly than at other times aud in other or
cumstances. And It is such special circumstance
that we are concerned with at the present moment
The departed brother, whose mortal remains we have

nize for ourselves, and impress upon others,
the truth which comes to us from a higher
source than human utterance, that Fright
eousness exaltcIh nation, but sin is a
reproach to any people.
And SO, taking the lessons of the past,
and applying them to the duties of the
present, let our aim be to perpetuate a gov
ernment, whose blessings, like the dews of
heaven, fall alike on all, exciting the love
of all, claiming the loyalty of all, and de-
serving the confidence of all.

Here was crisis. The Democrats de-
termined to avail of it; to the point of
stopping the State Government, to the end
of recognizing it on the basis of some nearer
approximation to representation in it of the
popular will. The nineteen electors refused
10 90 into the college, and SO to aid in the
election Of Senate. QenHHciations of
treason, threats Of criminal prosecutions,
and of all the direst ills imaginable, came
thicker and faster than hail stones in a
summer storm, but the nineteen stood I'M
moved, and because they did so, they were
called the ''The Glorious Nineteen" And
the circumstances were enough to try the
stuff that they were made of. After a
time, threats and denunciations having
failed of effect, the twenty-one concluded
to try cancellations and promises. There
upon enough of the nineteen electors went
into the college to enable the election of
a Senate, trusting to the promises made.
Amendments to the constitution were in
troduced, and finally adopted by the Leg
islature, renting the election Of Governor,
Senator's, Clerks and Registers to the peo-
pie, and ultimated in popularizing repre-
sentation, the Judicial, and all the depart
ments Of the State Government. Mean
while the erection Of Carroll county was
conceded to the reform movement, CIV
ing, to that extent, an immediate increase
of popular representation. This, notwith-
standing the opposition of the Democrats Of

strained to apknoWledge that some Demo
Gratis, sometimes, have made mistakes.

REmARKABLE QUARANTINE

1t is ANNOUNCED that the cholera
immigrants of the Alesia's who have
been detained in quarantine IN New
York harbor, are to be turned loose.
The information is naiveiy added
that this is done because the
immigrants are so riotous in their
behavior that they cannot be con-
trolled.
The Alesia's passengers are Ital-
ians of the lowest class. They be-
long to the same population that
fought the rescuers when the Scotia
was wrecked on Fire Island last APP
ril, and when their baggage was
given to them, fought each other
like wild beasts for its possession,
and now the 9uarantined Alesia's
are to be let loose to help out the
cholera, because the quarantine Oh
ficers cannot keep them from fight
ing.
This class of immigrants is I'M
welcome at any time. They are
not wanted here. No one but the
capitalist who wants to cut down
wages, and the steamship compan-
les that make money by transport
ing them, has asked them to come.
The working men do not want them
because they keep the wages OF la
Dor down to the lowest notch. Other
citizens do not want them, for they
are a constant menace to order.
But when, to their natural dis
advantages, they add the probable
possession of the cholera germs, il
is imperative that they be kept out
